Bobcat expands lineup with 3 new utility tractors

Bobcat is expanding its tractor lineup with the launch of three utility tractors: the Bobcat UT6066, UT6566, and UT6573, which are built for heavy-duty work yet make it easier for operators of all experience levels to accomplish more on their operations. 

“Designed with intuitive, operator-friendly controls, Bobcat utility tractors are dependable, easy to operate, and highly versatile machines that maximize performance and productivity,” says Jonathan Widmer, Bobcat senior product specialist. “There’s less demand on operators so they can focus more on leaving behind great results, whether they’re putting an implement to work or moving material with the tractor’s loader.” 

Bobcat utility tractors feature 12x12 power shuttle transmissions that deliver smooth shifting without stepping on a clutch pedal. Powered by turbocharged, Tier 4 diesel engines, these tractors offer robust performance with low-end torque, plus an efficient fuel system. The tractors offer long component life, easy service access, and simple maintenance, as well as reduced noise and vibration for more comfortable driving. 

The climate-controlled cab, which comes standard on the UT6566 and UT6573, provides year-round comfort. The utility tractors also feature wide glass panels, convenient visibility to the 3-point hitch, power and tilt steering, and ergonomic controls that enhance operator performance and minimize fatigue. 

Implement and attachment versatility

The optional Bobcat front-end loader is easy to attach and disconnect, with free-standing capability when removed. It comes with the Bobcat Bob-Tach attachment mounting system for quick and easy attachment changes, and an integrated hydraulic valve for powered attachment operations. The mechanical, self-leveling loader keeps pallet forks level throughout the range of motion and minimizes bucket spillage. 

Bobcat utility tractors feature a rear power take-off (PTO) that achieves 540 rpm at engine speeds of either 1,800 rpm or 2,500 rpm for maximum power. The Category 2, three-point hitch allows operators to take on tasks that require both non-powered and PTO-powered implements. The telescopic lower links and stabilizers support implement connections and removals without the need for tools. Rear-remote hydraulics enhance implement versatility. Operators can engage the PTO with just the push and turn of a button. 

Other features include: 

• PTO Cruise enables operators to maintain consistent PTO power when the engine’s load conditions change.
• Draft Control helps maintain the desired implement height, raising the implement only when required to prevent tire slippage or engine stall. 
• Four-Wheel Drive engages at the push of a button.

“Whether you need a dependable tractor for cutting hay, clearing snow, feeding livestock, seeding food plots, handling materials, or a multitude of other tasks, there’s a versatile Bobcat utility tractor to help you do more with one machine,” Widmer says.

Bobcat currently offers several tractor options as part of its existing product portfolio. The new utility tractors will be available at select Bobcat dealerships this summer.
